Pitching Deck WX Conditions

[lobo]

Wanted to test the pitching/rolling motion of the Super Carrier with various wind conditions (kts). Here are my results:

 

Pitch and listing measured from LSO station.

 

Carrier is at 20 kts steering north.

 

The wind is from the north.

 

Wind Spd…..Pitch...…...List....Sea State

0...………………0...………….0...….Calm :)

10...…………...0...………...0...….Calm ;)

20...…………...0.4...……...0.4...Slight :megalol:

30...…………...0.8...……...0.8...Moderate :thumbup:

40...…………...1.6...……...1.4...Rough :thumbsup:

50...…………….2.4...……...2.0...Very Rough :joystick:

60...…………...3.4...……….3.0...High :cry:

70...…………...4.6...……….4.0...Very High :worthy:

80...…………...6.2...……….5.2...Phenomenal :smoke:

97 (max)…...9.0...……….7.8...Insane :pirate:

 

To make it a bit more sporty, make it a quartering wind.

Handy reference! Thanks for doing this and including emojis for reference. Time to go get my real sea legs! :pirate:

Those emoji's should be part of the LSO's landing grade!

20 kts of wind to get any pitching? sheesh.

[AG-51_Razor]

Yeah, and when you set it to 20, it's 40+ at 1600 feet!! :mad:

[BarTzi]

Why do you have to increase the wind that much to get it to pitch?

[Ahmed]

because we need a sea state weather parameter but we don't have it yet (wishlist anyone?)

[AG-51_Razor]

It's been requested, begged for and put on more wish lists than you can count!!:cry:
